Character Swap Options

[King Coin]

Grits and I swapped characters a few days ago. I told her how to make Aravi and she told me how to make Jerric.

It’s been a lot of fun to play her character and to see what mine is doing, so we decided to make this bigger.

Here’s the idea: You can post your character(s) and/or play someone else’s. If you are playing someone else’s, keep them true to character as much as you can. It’s more interesting that way. If you don’t know them very well, then ask questions!

You do not have to play a character if you want to share one. You do not have to share a character if you want to play one. It is a lot of fun to swap though, so consider it!

Posting a character here in no way transfers ownership of that character. You won't 'lose' your character. Playing someone else's character does not make you 'own' that character. I do not anticipate this being an issue but I wanted to be sure it is absolutely clear.

These can be characters from any game that is commonly played here.

If a character that you would like to try is not already posted, then send a personal message to their creator to ask. If they refuse, that is their business. Do not try to pressure someone into sharing a character.

Edit: Feel free to share your adventures and post pictures here, but do not post them in the other threads. This will avoid confusion. If you alter someone’s character significantly in personality or appearance, then do not post them.

Pseron Wyrd, that sounds like tremendous fun. It’s the keeping-in-character and sharing experiences with the other player that make this worth the time, and you and Shelley Mars are perfecting that!

Hollow, Kayla will be the final frontier for me. I don’t recall ever playing an Altmer female in any of the games. Was she married to Onmund in your game? Does she live at Breezehome? I remember that she and Lydia are friends from her story. What do you use for hand wraps, Forsworn gauntlets? They cover the knuckles but leave the fingers free on female characters.

I’m having a blast with King Coin’s Aravi. Here’s what we’ve done so far.

First she did some errands with Darnand (Marcurio) and built Aravi Manor. Darnand is hanging around for a while to help. He owes her.

Here is a picture of Aravi finding Kharjo. She had quite the footrace with his caravan trying to get his amulet back to him. She finally caught up with them in Dawnstar. She was SO happy to see him!

Between dropping Darnand off at the house and picking up Kharjo, Aravi had some business with the Companions. Here she is under the moon. She has not had a transformation yet other than the first one. It’s very different to see all of those Nords through Aravi’s eyes. My wolves are Mikke and Jensa. Both of them fit right in.

With Kharjo at her back Aravi tackled Bleak Falls Barrow for the Jarl. Again it was a different journey with Aravi. She’s both cautious and fierce. I can’t think of any of mine with that combination.

Oh, and spiders! Ugh. Her marksman is nowhere near as good as her one-handed, and Kharjo charged in to close with the big one in BFB right away. Aravi was dancing around knowing that she could finish it quicker with her blades but just unable to do it. Plus the poison was nearly killing her, and she knew that one bite would be the end. She ended up running back through to heal and then healing Kharjo when it was over. Yuck. Poor Aravi!

Here I was trying to get a good closeup and I got this surprise angry face! She was about to go swimming in a pool by a waterfall. She saw the slaughterfish before I took the picture, lol.

Her first unscripted dragon event was pretty awesome. By then she and K had met the Dawnguard and were in the Reach looking for the nutty Breton chick. A dragon attacked them right outside that sort of low dragon lair. We could even see the top of the Word Wall. Aravi had time to chug potions while the dragon was circling, otherwise she would have been hiding. She needs a few perks in alchemy unless we find some gear to improve potions.

Anyway she and K got separated by the terrain and the dragon landed. Aravi was kind of stuck with a cliff and big rocks, but she had some room to move. The dragon could have eaten her before she finished it. (I have the HUD on to prevent sudden surprise death.) She had to decide whether to heal and hope for the best or go out on fire with a sword in each hand. Then she heard ka-chunk from a crossbow and knew that Kharjo had her back, wherever he was. So she went for it. That was close!

Then when it was time to investigate the Word Wall it seemed natural to stroll up the middle of the road relaxing since they had just killed the dragon. Uh, no, this is Aravi, and she is no fool. She Muffled and sneaked up on another damn dragon. Thankfully she got some good lingering damage poison recipes from Darnand since this time they had no “help” from local wildlife (a bear and sabrecat tried to eat her during the first battle). She got the head-riding kill-cam. Woo hoo! Her tail looked awesome.

Now that the Aravi Manor details are in Darnand’s hands, Aravi has a little time to relax with Kharjo. Here’s the best I could do for her warm-weather bikini needs. Of course she also carries her furs for when it’s snowy.

Oh, one last thing. Aravi Manor is a hotbed of danger. She had already had a giant and a dragon attack there. Then last night when they got home the sun was setting so she and Kharjo dashed up to the alchemy tower roof to catch the rays (and for me to take a picture). Then we heard some trash talk from below. WTH? Aravi looked around but couldn’t see anything down there. Then someone said something about being more than just a pretty face.

Vampire attack! At her house! She was not pleased. Also she was not taking the stairs. Aravi made a little leap onto the roof and then just dropped down to the ground. No damage. She is awesome!!
